Star Wars Anthology Contest

[GallardoLU]

The size restrictions for the small category is 0 - 32x32 studs. The size restriction for the small category is 32x32 studs or larger.

that's an awful wide window for the small category

Does the color restriction apply to minifigure prints? LDD's print selection for minifigures is not very effective for anything in the Star Wars universe save for the ones included from 7961.

So we could for example recreate a scene from one of the Clone Wars episodes as long as the the main character is Obi Wan?

Haven't read a lot of books or comics so my knowledge of the adventures in those is limited.

[MKJoshA]

Is it allowed to include legacy material or must it be strict canon material. Their is much more enjoyable scenes and moments found in the legacy zone. Just wondering.

The details section tells me that you can base your scene from an EU event, an event meantioned in the movies but not seen, or you can completely make a scene up that takes place between the movies.

Legacy/EU material is fine. As long as you include a main character and it's set sometime between one of the 7 movies, anything else is fair game.

Thanks for catching that!

Custom decals for minifigures is allowed.

You can re-create a scene, or you can make up your own. Fictional or non-mentioned events are allowed!

To wha date will the contest last?

[Actor Builder]

How fictional can it be?

I don't know much about Star Wars besides what I see in LEGO sets, so if I make a cool spaceship or something and put a Stormtrooper inside, does that count?

I don't know enough about the plot to write fanfiction, if you know what I mean. If I have a character doing something out-of-character, will I be penalized?

I guess I could watch the films, but I'm OCD about watching things in order, and nobody is willing to watch the Prequels with me.

The contest runs until June 1st.

You could build a generic spaceship and put a Stormtrooper inside, but you probably won't get many votes. This is judged on public voting and most of those who vote will know a few things about Star Wars. So the same answer to your character question, if you have Luke Skywalker getting drunk (which I would argue is out of character) then you probably won't get many votes. I hope this contest is more about having fun than winning for most, so if you'll have fun building a Star Trek style spaceship while having a Jedi drinking party, go for it! It's totally against the Star Wars feel, and you're not likely to win, but at least you'll have fun and we'll all get a few laughs. But if you want to know more about Star Wars so you can build a more accurate MOC, I would suggest looking up a few things on Wookiepedia. I hope that helps.

[Actor Builder]

Alright, thanks for the reply.

Most of my contest entries are satirical anyways, I'm always more for fun than winning!

I'll see if I have time to make something...

I have just posted my entry in the small category. The link to the forum post can be found here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=131685

MOC - Lando's Wardrobe Raid #1 by Canaan May, on Flickr

[brickmasterben11]

Your Lando MOC is really cool, but what movies would it be related too?

[Forresto]

I'm assuming it's in Empire Strikes Back at the end when Lando is wearing Han's clothing for some apparent reason

[Galactic13]

Yep, that's what I was referencing. Trying to add a bit of humor while also staying within canon.

[Leonardo da Bricki]

Question: If I build a spaceship that isn't square can it have dimensions like 32x50 studs? Or must a baseplate be used for the build?

[MKJoshA]

Baseplates and/or square builds are not required! You could have a 16x64 size build for the small category, or a 8x128, etc. Spaceships are fine without baseplates, just keep it within the small/large category sizes when posting.

[Forresto]

Here's a bizarre question but I just want to cross my t's. Since this is a contest relating to the films are we still allowed to use minifigures or figure elements that are only found in the sets pertaining to the Clone Wars series as long as they aren't referencing the actual series itself?

The Clone Wars takes place between the films! Seems like fair game.

All Clone Wars series minifgures, items, pieces, etc. are fair game. You just can't build an entry around a character that only appears in the Clone Wars series. But you could have Mace Windu along side Ahsoka and Hondo if you wanted.

[Leonardo da Bricki]

Thanks for the clarification! Yay! No baseplate needed! But how do I choose the category? If both numbers are over 32, 36x98 for example, that equals Large category, right? Anything where one number is smaller than 32, 20x60 for example, is in the Small category?

[MKJoshA]

As long as the square studs do not exceed 1024, it fits in the small category. So a 20x60 would be too large because that's 1200 studs.

[Leonardo da Bricki]

Ohhhhh... By number of studs square. Thanks for the clarification. My ship is now definitely in the Large category...

[Columbus019]

AWESOME!!!!

Now I just have to spend hours finding the most obscure, most awesome and easiest to make awesommely in lego star wars anthology story. I'm thinking of doing one of the new disney star wars books that came out a while ago (they are really good)

I looked through all my expanded universe stuff and found an awesome comic set between episodes 4 and 5 where both luke and leia take on darth vader and cut off his arm (also has leia with lightsaber).

Sounds like the adaptation of Splinter of the Mind's Eye, which was written by Alan Dean Foster after the first film as an idea for a lower-budget sequel that could be made if the first film tanked. It didn't, obviously, so SOTME became the first "EU" book, of a sort, and ESB became the sequel film. Years later, Dark Horse adapted it into comic form.

Yeah, that is the name.

Im working on recreating some frames from the comic book adaptation of it.

Just to be sure, does the character have to appear in the movies? How about someone that was mentioned, but never actually made an appearance? For example, Sifo Dias?
